This December, we at The Curvy Fashionista are celebrating a milestone—16 years of championing plus size fashion, lifestyle, and community. From humble beginnings to becoming a leading voice in plus size digital media, we’ve built this platform with one goal in mind: to empower, inspire, and celebrate you, our incredible readers. And what better way to commemorate this journey than with some fabulous giveaways?
This week, we’re kicking off the festivities with an exciting partnership with Gia/IRL, a contemporary plus size brand redefining everyday style. Together, we’re giving four lucky readers the chance to win a $160 gift card to shop their incredible collection. But that’s just the beginning! Each week through the end of December, we’ll team up with more amazing plus size brands and retailers to thank you for your unwavering support over the years.
Let’s dive into what makes Gia/IRL such a standout brand and how you can enter to win this exclusive giveaway.
Meet Gia/IRL: Where Style Meets Real Life
Founded by Gia Sinatra, a former plus size model, editor, and entrepreneur, Gia/IRL (In Real Life) was born out of a desire to fill a gap in the market for chic, versatile clothing tailored to plus size bodies. Gia understands firsthand the challenges of finding high-quality, stylish, and functional wardrobe staples that fit beautifully and feel amazing. With Gia/IRL, she set out to create pieces that empower women to look and feel their best, whether they’re dressing for work, a night out, or lounging in comfort.
The brand’s mission is clear: “to design clothes that fit your body and your life.” Their thoughtfully curated collection includes everything from elevated and minimalist dresses and chic separates to the must-have everyday essentials—all with an elevated, fashion-forward edge. And the best part? Gia/IRL is unapologetically size-inclusive, offering sizes ranging from 12 to 30.
With a commitment to ethical production and sustainable practices, Gia/IRL is more than just a clothing brand—it’s a movement that celebrates the individuality and strength of plus size women everywhere.
If you haven’t explored their collection yet, now is the perfect time to fall in love with Gia/IRL’s approach to effortless sophistication.
